Science, Suppression, And DEI

 

Mollie Hemingway recently ‘tweeted’: "The Biden administration collectively spent $267 million to combat misinformation. Look at the increase in spending from 2017, when just $316,000 was spent on it.” She added, "We have federal agencies engaged in the suppression of speech and debate that the federal government disagrees with. That is in no way the job of the federal government to weigh in on what Americans are saying." Based on the chart accompanying her tweet, it appears that the feds spent a staggering $126.1 million to combat free speech in the high COVID year of 2021 alone. Much of what the government labeled ‘misinformation’ has, of course, proven true. No one was supposed to question ‘science’…or Dr. Fauci, who told us he was science.

But ‘science’ is not executive order or governmental coercion. Science is supposed to foster inquiry…and debate. Both hypotheses and findings are meant to be questioned every step of the way. Science is not supposed to lead to censorship, suppression, and repression. Nor is it supposed to have an ideological agenda. Quite the opposite. Yet some with an ideological agenda are ironically effectively attempting to take science back to the days before The Age of Enlightenment. Not willing to let a (manufactured) crisis go to waste, the Biden administration first blinded us with science (in the guise of Dr. Fauci), and then it bludgeoned us with it.

And now it wants to stuff it full of DEI.

Recent reports indicate that the Biden administration has essentially ordered the federal government to consider ‘indigenous knowledge’ when implementing various rules and regulations. To wit, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Administrator Rick Spinrad had this to say via a media release: “NOAA is excited to team up with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium to accelerate information-sharing aimed at building climate resilience, adaptation and co-production of knowledge in communities across the United States and tribal nations. Indigenous Knowledge has made it possible for Indigenous Nations to persist and thrive for millennia. These knowledge systems are needed more than ever to inform NOAA and our nation’s approach to environmental stewardship.”

I have great respect for Native Americans and their history, but assorted non-Indigenous nations have persisted and thrived for long periods of time, as well. Europeans, in fact, built castles more often than, say, tepees or wickiups, and invented many things that greatly benefited mankind, including Capitalism.

Nonetheless, Biden issued a memo in November of 2022 that directed more than two dozen federal agencies to apply ‘Indigenous Knowledge’ to ‘decision making, research, and policies,' according to a post by Joseph Simonson in The Washington Free Beacon. Simonson said that same memo called on agencies to speak with ‘spiritual leaders’ and reject ‘methodological dogma.'

So, the NOAA is now expected to rely in part on ‘Indigenous Knowledge.’ Ever notice how Native Americans never get caught out in the rain? And that their crops are always bountiful no matter the weather? What other agencies are to consider Indigenous Knowledge in their ‘decision making, research, and policies?’ NASA, perhaps? I mean, it was only a fluke that Native Americans didn’t get to the moon first…even though they, too, have opposable thumbs. Right?

Common-sense is not rocket science. But we may not have either soon.

All that said, I will take Indigenous Knowledge—and integrity—over ‘progressive’ science and the likes of Dr. Fauci. Any day.

 

 

 

 

 

There Is No Pardoning The Biden Administration

 

This is going to be controversial to many, but I am going to tell it like I see it, so damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

The Biden administration, set up as it was by the Obama administration, has been a clear and present danger to the United States of America. In almost every way imaginable. It has tanked an economy that otherwise was on the way to (an almost inevitable) rapid, post-pandemic recovery, causing pain to countless American families. Speaking of the pandemic, its ludicrous lockdown policy, and a host of other counterproductive and destructive policies, caused immeasurable physical, mental, and emotional harm to millions of people—and summarily destroyed many small businesses, particularly restaurants. It fostered a growing oligarchy by ensuring certain government-approved giant corporations prospered while the small businesses were devastated. It nourished this budding fascism even as it took every opportunity to baselessly label Donald Trump and his supporters as ‘fascists.’ Similarly, it incessantly talked of “saving our democracy” even as it tried to destroy it by pushing for the end of the Electoral College and the filibuster, supporting the advent of Congressional representation for Washington, D.C., urging the granting of statehood to Puerto Rico, and, most egregiously, going to any and all lengths to get rid of its chief political opponent, Donald J. Trump. It is still doing all it can to obstruct the will of the people, as was evident in its post-election auctioning off materials for the border wall for pennies on the dollar, as well as in placing various other roadblocks in front of the incoming administration. (In other words, it is doing everything possible to counteract the will of the people. Doesn’t sound very democratic to me.) Leaving the border wide open for years has created the greatest current-- and latent-- security threat the nation has ever faced. Period.

In colluding with the social media giants to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, or with foreign agents to concoct the Russian-collusion hoax, Democrats have shown, time and again, they will do anything to attain and retain power. The Biden administration made that abundantly clear…seven ways from Sunday.

In its constant use of lawfare and its “accountability for thee but not for me” perversion of the justice system, it has created a two-tiered system of justice that is deeply anti-American and monstrously pernicious. And that is troubling—and frightening—to most Americans.

The Biden administration has helped make a mockery of common sense—if not of reality itself-- with its official inability to define what a woman is, and to simultaneously approve of ‘gender reassignment’ surgeries and procedures (even for the very young)…and biological men in women’s locker-rooms, bathrooms, and on their sports teams. It has done grievous damage to our culture—and unity—by endlessly promoting the absurd ideologies of DEI and CRT.

Its unwillingness to ever be available, accountable, or transparent is only matched by its overwhelming desire and propensity to lie to the very citizens it is supposed to serve. Which we have seen in its attempts to protect itself, smear Trump and his supporters, give a pass to the Chinese spy balloon, and in its flat-out refusal to tell Americans anything resembling the truth about the drone fiasco that has been ongoing for over a month. The non-answers and gibberish that has spewed from the mouths of ‘government officials,’ has been truly mind-blowing…on this and numerous other matters.

As if all of this wasn’t enough, its foreign policy may yet lead to our destruction. It essentially surrendered to goat-herders in Afghanistan, leaving behind billions of dollars of high-end military equipment, more than a dozen dead Americans, and our reputation and dignity. It has bizarrely coddled Iran while playing hardball with Israel, the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. And it seems almost determined to get us directly involved in a shooting war with Russia, if not a nuclear one.

To me, this is far worse than incompetence, more than malfeasance.

To me, it spells T-R-E-A-S-O-N.

Were this an age of reason, what other conclusion could be reached?

Drones Here, There, Everywhere

 

The CNN headline read “Drones continue to buzz over US bases. The military isn’t sure why or how to stop them.” That seems odd…if not unbelievable…as the US military is the most lavishly funded in the world. Yet it appears that every government department/agency/entity is entirely clueless and pointing fingers at every other government department/agency/entity.

The article supporting the headline noted that the drones’ “…intent could be anything from attempting to gather intelligence on the base or testing its defenses and response time, to gaining a better understanding of how the bases work…”

If their intent is to gather intelligence on the bases and those that run them, the intelligence they gathered would indicate that there is no intelligence on those bases. In testing their defenses, they would have discovered there is no apparent defense. Testing their response time would have yielded the realization that there has been no response at all, forget about time. The Camp Pendleton spokesperson’s assertion that there has been “no impact to air and ground operations” is not particularly reassuring as the drones are likely gathering intelligence, not looking to give the jig up by blowing the bases to smithereens. In any case, if this is some kind of test—any kind of test— the US has failed it miserably.

I’m rather surprised the Pentagon hasn’t come out and said, “These drones are nothing but a distraction from our core mission of teaching DEI and CRT to our gender-diverse members!” As God is my witness, does any Western nation care to defend itself? Or are they all too pre-occupied with Russia to protect their homelands from any and all other threats?

Speaking of Russia—and drones-- reports indicate that Ukraine (allegedly) flew several drones into a Russian apartment building in Kazan. If so, it is possible that the Biden administration and its Pentagon aided this attack. If so, it would be remarkable that the US can assist another nation in flying drones into a Russian apartment building several hundred miles into Mother Russia, but is utterly incapable of identifying or taking down any of the drones flying over its own military bases in its homeland.

To quote an old Buffalo Springfield song, “There’s something happening here, but what it is ain’t exactly clear.”

Or that’s what the government would have us believe.  

 

Three For Free

 

Three For Free   (Okay, everything I post here is still free.)

 

*Rep. Kay Granger (R-Tex) hadn’t voted in six months. This naturally concerned her constituents, which prompted a local newspaper to look for her. The Dallas Express found her offices empty. An employee of the office park where Granger’s office is located told the paper that her staff had cleared the office out and vacated prior to Thanksgiving. The paper then received a tip that Granger was living in an assisted living facility ever since she had “been found wandering lost and confused in her former neighborhood.” Sad, yes, but if being “lost and confused” is grounds for being put in assisted living facilities, the majority of our Representatives and Congressmen should be placed in one.

*The U.S. Navy apparently shot down its own fighter jet over the Red Sea recently. Yay, DEI! Let’s have that crew have a crack at the drones flying through U.S. airspace and over military bases back home!

*The Bite Me Biden administration recently bankrolled a program that actually pays children to skip class-- without their parent’s knowledge-- to partake of lessons on LGBTQ activism. No joke. Let’s just get this over with. Just make it illegal to be ‘straight.’

 

DEI Coming To A Murder Near You

A 15-year-old girl shot and killed a fellow student and a teacher-- and wounded six other people at the small, and now ironically named, Abundant Life Christian School on Monday, December 16^th, in Madison, Wisconsin. The shooting occurred shortly before 11 a.m. in a classroom in the K-12 school that was being used as a study hall, police said. At a late-night news conference, Police Chief Shon Barnes identified the shooter as Natalie Rupnow, who he said went by the name Samantha. Rupnow used a handgun and apparently died of a self-inflicted wound. (Which apparently makes her a much better shot than anyone currently employed by the Secret Service.)

Feminists rejoice! You’ve come a long way, baby! Nearing equality! You told us! You said women were no different than men. What a great day for equal opportunities equal outcomes! Equity! Doesn’t the fact that these kinds of shootings are now increasingly perpetrated by females essentially prove there are no substantive or consistent differences among the sexes? Moreover, the shooter was likely rebelling against traditional Christianity…and, by extension, the suffocating old gender roles. Yay! Reports indicate she was an ardent feminist. And, to abortion extremists, though the media is reporting two ‘deaths,’ the truth is they were simply two ‘very late term abortions.’

Several Leftists are on record as stating that the United Healthcare CEO got what was rightfully coming to him. And now this tragedy lets progressives rant against guns— while thinking to themselves that women have come a long way from hearth and home. Progress!

Progress? A survey conducted by Emerson College found that an incredible 41% of voters aged 18-29 deem the cold-blooded murder of the United Healthcare CEO ‘somewhat’ or ‘completely’ acceptable. Murder.

Leftist culture—and Leftist policies—have been gradually turning America into a latter-day Gomorrah. Making America Great Again will necessarily involve changing both.

 

 

Of Gifts: Past, Present, And Future

 

People increasingly buy their own gifts for others to give them, so they don’t run the risk of “having” to return them. Many folks now just give cash. After all, it’s always the right color, and the right size (unless the recipient is truly greedy). Many families have given up on buying gifts for specific people altogether, instead instituting “The Dice Game” or some such to determine who gets what. (Nothing says Christmas like tossing dice and stealing away gifts you know other people covet.) Some polls have found that a majority of respondents claim they wouldn’t buy any gifts at all if they didn’t “feel like they had to.” 

Some of us are not wealthy enough to give the gift of a new car…or small country…to our loved ones, despite what many commercials imply. Yet, those really aren’t the most treasured presents that can be given to those we truly love. At least they shouldn’t be. Sure, physical gifts are a large part of the Christmas season, but there are other gifts, as well. And the most important gifts are the ones we give, not the ones we get. The gift of one’s presence is often more valued than the bestowing of physical presents.

So, while this season can be hectic, I hope you all get to spend some time with your loved ones around the hearth, Christmas tree, or dinner table this year. And let’s not forget about the gifts we’ve already received, such as our lives, family and friends, shared memories, and accidents we’ve survived or never had. (And this year, AT readers, we have another gift for which to be thankful, the election of Donald Trump.)

In days of yore, many younger working folks traveled back home for Christmas to spend three or four days on the farm or at the family homestead, basking in the warmth of a fireplace, good conversation, and a home-cooked meal. Home. It often took a day or two just to get home-- via horse, Model T, or train. Traditions were honored, games were played, and stories were told. Folks gave…of that most precious gift of all: their time and undivided attention…face-to-face. The greatest gift we have to give. (Yes, it was easier back then, prior to television, the internet, video games, Tik-Tok, Facebook, etc., etc.)

Today few of us would panic if we skipped celebrating Christmas altogether, yet almost all of us panic when we can’t find our smartphone.

We have journeyed way too far down a road that ought not have been traveled.

It is time to find our way home again.

Oh, holy night

The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Let’s celebrate the greatest gift of all.

 

Merry Christmas.

 

 

 

Poland And The ICC To Ban Netanyahu From 80th Anniversary Of Auschwitz Liberation

 

Poland says it will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in compliance with a warrant from the International Criminal Court, if he dares to attend the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

"We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court," Władysław Bartoszewski, Poland’s deputy foreign minister, recently told Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita.

Why?! This is akin to President Biden or President Trump being threatened with arrest if they showed up in Normandy for a June 6 D-Day anniversary. It is disgusting.

I don't know about you, but I am tiring of purportedly international bodies claiming legitimacy and sovereignty over others when they have and deserve none. The international criminal court, or ICC, for example, has absolutely no right to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu or any Israeli or American. The ICC was established via the Rome Statute, the 1998 treaty that Israel and the United States are not signatories to, and therefore not bound by, as both astutely refused to sign, i.e. give up their sovereignty to an international non-entity comprised of a bunch of ‘elite’ blowhards who themselves are criminal wannabes insofar as they wish to arrest others without any conceivable right to do so. This kind of overarching, overreaching, unilateral militancy reveals the ICC and those who comprise it to be nothing but a bunch of smug ideological thugs. As such, the United States, Israel, and any self-respecting Democratic Republic should tell the ICC to pound sand, and otherwise ignore it until it goes away…or the sun expires. The same approach the U.S. should take with the United Nations. And the WEF. And the WHO.

Poland should reconsider. And the Biden administration should put pressure on it to do so. But it is too worried about ‘Islamophobia’ and mythical ‘far-right’ extremists to concern itself with little things like the Holocaust and the nation of Israel.

Of course, that’s just my opinion.

 

The Second Battle Of Britain

                           Britain is slipping away.

                       The progenitor of the free world, the United States included, is barely recognizable these days. Lack of reverence for life and an equally troubling tolerance for extreme antisemitism have combined with an almost total intolerance for those who oppose these evils to cast a malevolent pall over the U.K.

                       It is not only life and Judaism that are threatened. Christianity is increasingly under assault, as well. The English Football Association (EFA) recently issued a ‘warning’ to one of its players for having the temerity to write “I Love Jesus” over his league-mandated rainbow flag armband. And yet, another league player, who is a practicing Muslim, flatly refused to wear the rainbow armband altogether…with nary a complaint from the same association. In related news, a Catholic woman from Northern Ireland was recently convicted of praying in a ‘buffer zone’ outside an abortion mill. Convicted of praying. (She’s probably lucky she didn’t get life in prison, as she also held up a pro-life sign.)

                       The House of Commons, too, recently denied the sanctity of life, voting 330 to 275 to approve draft legislation that would allow terminally ill adults who are ‘expected’ to die within six months to seek help in ending their lives. And there may be significant tax benefits to dying early, leading terminally ill pensioners to utilize legally assisted-dying to spare loved ones six-figure tax bills. In fact, under current rules, pensions are passed on, free of income tax, if a person dies before turning 75-years-old. What’s not to like about government tax policy rewarding early death? Lest we forget, the Nazis practiced euthanasia ever more extensively prior to establishing their concentration camps.

                        And there’s more. Shockingly, GB News recently reported that “leaflets with the writing ‘every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered’ were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in north London.” This hate speech, these blatant death threats, received very little coverage or attention, a sad testament to how antisemitism has once again become normalized in parts of Europe, as it was when Nazis ruled. People are afraid to speak up or protest, as the Starmer government has threatened them with fines or incarceration. (Speaking of Nazi-like behavior.)

                       An ever-decreasing percentage of Britain’s population is native to the isles. Not coincidentally, an ever-decreasing percentage of those who reside in Britian are Christian. Or admit to being so. What amounts to an unrecognized pogrom is stealing both the British character and the British Islands themselves…from the British. Jolly Olde England is not so jolly nor so English anymore. (To wit, Muhammad is now the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales.)

                       Punished for stating “I love Jesus.” Rewarded for dying early. Overwhelmed by foreign invaders. Can this be the country that gave us Locke, Disraeli, Churchill, and Thatcher?

                       How is this happening? One word: appeasement. Which didn’t work out so well prior to World War II, either. It never does. For the record, appeasement and ‘tolerance’ are closely related.

                       This is the Second Battle of Britain, whether it is recognized as such or not. If Britain loses this one, it will be just as defeated, just as lost, and just as subjugated as it would have been if it had surrendered to Hitler’s Germany. There will be no ‘The World At War’ documentary series after this battle, no Sir Laurence Olivier narrating for the BBC. There may well be no BBC. There will only be black-clad women crying in the corners…and shouts of “Allahu Akbar” piercing the cheerless, leaden skies.

                       If we in the West don’t wish to suffer through another Dark Age, we must realize it is high time to turn the lights back on. If we tarry, if we fail, if we falter, it will be too late.

                       Churchill once noted that, if England was victorious in the first Battle of Britain, “the British Empire” might “last for a thousand years.” Speaking of early death, it now appears Britain might not make it 100 years past that remark.

                       If it does not, somewhere Churchill may be heard to utter, “Never in the field of human conflict have so many so cravenly surrendered to so few.”

 

    

 

Terror Strikes A Christmas Market In Germany...Yet Again

There was another devastating terror attack on a Christmas market in Germany yesterday. The video is sickening.

This venue was targeted specifically because it was a Christmas market, whatever progressive Germans themselves may call it. Had it been a ‘holiday market’ it wouldn't have held quite as much allure for the Saudi terrorist. In fact, Christmas market terror attacks have sadly become almost commonplace in Germany.

There are constant calls for ‘common-sense gun control’ in the United States. But, if firearms were banned, citizens would simply be unable to defend themselves against evil. Should there be ‘common-sense knife control’ in formerly jolly olde England where people are getting stabbed on a routine basis? And, in Germany, should there now be talk of common-sense automobile control? To hell with their Volkswagens, their Audis, and their BMWs, right? They should have their right to drive automobiles taken from them because another Middle Eastern terrorist used one to murder and maim dozens and dozens of innocent folks who were enjoying the peace on earth and good will towards men that characterizes Christmas season. And doing a little shopping.

This madness has to stop. Mass-murder events are not caused by inanimate objects- or ones that can only be animated by human beings. Period. They, like all other crimes, are caused by criminals. What a concept! When criminals are coddled and released, when illegal immigrants are allowed into a country unchecked, when a society’s culture has become so depraved and enervated, when standards and merit are mocked, when nearly everything but standards, merit, and tradition are tolerated, a nation has entered its denouement. But it doesn’t have to be thus. Even at this late stage, salvation is possible. But only if evil is not tolerated and civilizational confidence is restored.

Maybe more Germans will listen to Elon Musk now, and support the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Probably not. But I will tell you this: The alternatives to the AfD party are a stagnating economy, terror attacks in perpetuity, cultural dissolution, general decay—and the resultant continual nightmares, hopelessness, and familial devastation.

Say what you will about Germany, but it is filled with hard-working people who have historically made Germany the engine of the European economy. Germany gave the world the diesel engine, the electron microscope, contact lenses, bicycles, beer, the programmable computer, chip cards, helicopters, the printing press, and coffee filters, among many other inventions.

Though many of us may not agree with “Deutschland über Alles,” there is a line, repeated, in the German anthem that reads: “Unity, justice, and freedom.” Germans have long since been reunited. It is time they have justice. That they may continue to be free.

It would be beyond sad if Germany just let itself fade away, gradually absorbed by another culture…and a tad ironic if it failed to repel what amounts to a foreign invader.  

Germany has long since proved its remorse over its role in World War II. There is nothing wrong with the idea of Germany, too, making itself great again.

In fact, it would be a good thing-- not only for Germans, but for the civilized world.

Satanic 'Holiday' Display Set Up In Minnesota State Capitol Building

 

Satanists have set up a ‘holiday’ display at the Minnesota Capitol Building. Though The Satanic Temple set up altars to Baphomet at the Iowa and Michigan capitals last year, this anti-Christian religious display seems more suited to Tim Walz’s Minnesota. As per usual, the TST tweet touting the display ended with “Hail Satan!”

Chestnuts roasting over an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Sleigh rides, caroling, eggnog, The excitement in children’s eyes as they unwrap a gift chant “Hail Satan” with their families. (♬ It’s the most wonderful time of the year! ♬)

It is likely that the majority of Minnesotans, if informed of the Capitol display, would simply shrug and say, “We have religious freedom in this country. Remember the First Amendment.” Which is—or should be-- true on its face, but what happened to progressive’s treasured notion of separation of church and state? (I do not believe that, say, the Ten Commandments are currently on display in many states’ Capitol Buildings.) 

More to the point, every idea, action, belief, and religion is not equal. Nor necessarily suitable for display in a state capital. Pooping is not illegal, and no one wants it to be, but it is generally frowned upon when done in public. (Except, perhaps, in California and New York City.) Nudity is not a bad thing per se, as no one should be inherently ashamed of the body they were given, but it is generally illegal to be naked in the public square. Because sometimes morality comes into play. Or should. It’s a hell of a thing, right? Subjective? Maybe, but the world would be a dark and deadly place without it.

We are sinners all. But sinning should not be encouraged and celebrated, let alone worshipped. However, thank the Lord, it may be redeemed. Indeed, that is what this season is all about.

To many of us, for various reasons, the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes’appears to be going to Hell. But that’s no reason to put up shrines to the Prince of Darkness.

 

 

Throw Us A Drone Bone Already!

 

I rarely write about the same subject twice. Let alone three times. Had to make an exception. Why? Drones again, naturally. And that is what the Biden administration is claiming, that the astounding number and consistent character of recent drone sightings around East Coast infrastructure and military bases are just natural occurrences. ‘Authorities’ and ‘officials’ say they don’t know what exactly they are or who is flying them, but purport to believe the sightings are probably just a mixture of mistaken identification, hobbyist’s machines, and natural atmospheric phenomena.

Now tell us the one about the three bears. Bad—or incompetent-- actors want to hide the truth. Decent people often do not want to believe the truth. That one simple dynamic can be enough to spell disaster. Though I have a hunch, I do not claim to know what is going on with the drones…or who is controlling them. But I do know the government is not telling us the truth.

Newsweek ran a map of “U.S. Military Bases Swarmed by Mystery Drones.” Are these drones spying on our bases, or did they come from them-- or both? Some reports indicate that many of these bases are located next to Chinese-owned land. Coincidence? Is China behind these ‘mystery drones?’ Some reports seem to imply just that. If so, it is the biggest in-your-face “eff you” to the U.S. in our history…and everyone in the Biden administration should potentially be brought up on treason charges for utter failure to protect and defend the Constitution, the nation, and the people the government is sworn to defend.

When an Air Force base is forced to close due to these drones, it is kind of a big deal. Or is the base closing part of the ruse? Oooh. This is the kind of rampant speculation that is fostered when a government steadfastly refuses to tell its citizens the truth. The one-in-a-million chance that those in the government are telling the truth, and really still have no idea what’s going on, is even scarier. Personally, I dismiss that out of hand at this point.

Reports like the one stating that a drone measuring more than five feet across and worth $100,000 was ‘found’ unmolested and ‘un-stolen’ on a Brooklyn (N.Y.) Navy Yard sidewalk outside the headquarters of the company that manufactured it-- a month after it was placed there after a company party—are preposterous, if probably moot in this case.

Speculation about these drone sightings aren’t “baseless conspiracy theories,” itself the most disingenuous phrase possible, one used by the mainstream media in an attempt to delegitimize beliefs that have proved to be factual and correct nearly 100% of the time in recent years. When a nation’s leaders obviously can’t be trusted to tell the truth, it is only natural for its citizens to try to fill the void.

I would prefer for a Mayorkas, a Blinken, or a Milley to authorize a widespread radio and television PSA stating of the drone sightings: “This has been a test of the Emergency Psyop System. If this had been an actual emergency, we still wouldn’t have told you the truth. This was only a test to see how you’d react. Again, this was only a test of the Emergency Psyop System. As you were.”

At least that would be partially true.

$765 Million? Play Ball!

 

The New York Mets recently agreed to sign Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million contract, by far the most ridiculous largest contract in major league baseball history.

As of this writing, the Mets have not confirmed the deal because it is contingent on a pending physical, but sources say it contains a full no-trade clause, a $75 million signing bonus, a potential opt-out clause after five seasons-- and no deferred money. In fact, if certain conditions are met, it could potentially be worth as much as $805 million.

Now I don’t begrudge anyone for making whatever they can in a free market, but, at some point, one wonders if the average Joe in flyover country, making 40, 50, 60 grand a year, will start to sour on these types of contracts—and eventually sports in general. (I was going to say ‘professional’ sports, but, what with the portal and NIL money in college athletics today, it may be a distinction without a significant difference.) Especially as many played baseball in their youth; played hard—and for free.

And the $765 million doesn’t include any of the lucrative endorsement deals he’s sure to get. A guy’s got to feed his family, right? I would bet his contract contains a clause guaranteeing him 20 or 30 ‘maintenance days’ to rest his body…and perhaps a week or two off for family leave. The more today’s athletes make, the less they are willing to risk, and the more they are expected to be pampered.

Perspective: the Louisiana Purchase cost the U.S. $15 million in 1803, the equivalent of about $419 million today. This means that Soto is going to make, in 15 years, nearly twice what it cost us to buy 500 million acres of land that is ours in perpetuity…adjusted for inflation! Land that stretches from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border, comprising all or part of the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana (duh!), Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.

At this rate, it will soon require an expenditure equivalent to the Gross National Product (GNP) of several African nations to field a competitive ballclub. Or maybe even to solidify your squad’s infield.

For this kind of money, Soto better be able to secure our borders, find a cure for the common cold—and perhaps walk across water when called to do so.

Go Mets!

 

 

Murder Most Arousing

 

Sickeningly, there are apparently many fanboys and fangirls of…murder and/or murderers. To wit: Jimmy Kimmel and his staff appear to be over the moon for the man suspected of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. On a recent edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the alleged comedian stated, “Many women and men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is, and there’s a huge wave of horny washing over us, like… It’s like when one of the guys you work with says he— I had a dream about you last night.”

Wow. Where to start? “There’s a huge wave of horny washing over us.” Us? So, Kimmel himself has been aroused by Luigi Mangione, who (allegedly) shot Thompson in the back in cold blood? Kimmel then said that one of his producers admitted he/she/they “love” Mangione, while others thought him remarkably handsome.

              Kimmel and crew are sexually aroused by the death of the CEO? There is a huge wave of revulsion washing over me now. Here’s hoping Kimmel sees a further loss of ratings. Karma can be a bitch…and it should be the death of his show. Hope he has insurance.

              But it isn’t just late-night entertainers and their crews that are smitten with Mangione. Since the Dec. 4 shooting, more than $50,000 has been raised for him via a GiveSendGo online fundraising effort. We’re raising money in defense of suspected murderers now? One anonymous donor ponied up $31 and commented, "In light of United Healthcare having record profits in 2024, and use of AI to deny claims for subscribers, these people in this organization are scum. Luigi's acts should shed light on the need for the USA to end profit-motive in healthcare. Citizens need free, universal healthcare."

              Note to anonymous donor: who do you think pays for free universal health care for all? Do you think all the doctors, nurses, administrators, sanitary engineers, clerical staff, etc. should work for free? How many new drugs will come to market if there is no way for an organization to make a profit or even recoup its expenses and time? Speaking of money, I’m not a fan of abortion, especially not subsidized abortion. But, to paraphrase a line from an old SNL skit…… in your case—and Mangione’s—I might have paid for it myself.

 

 

 

Drone-gate Ballooning Out Of Control

 

According to Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, drone activity forced runways at New York's Stewart Airfield to shut down Friday night. As I recently wrote, Dronegate is becoming ever more pervasive—and absurd.

Yet, White House officials have heretofore deemed any and all suspected threats from the drones to be "not credible," and said many sightings are likely just of planes. 

Call me a skeptic, but I don’t believe them. Any member of the Biden administration. Ever. About anything. Track record, you see.

Admittedly, I am not generally considered to be an aviation ‘expert,’ but I doubt an airfield would be shut down because of plane sightings! In fact, this would rather defeat its purpose.

“What is it, Bob?”

“Boss, I think we better shut down all the runways. I’m pretty sure I just saw an airplane!”

“Dear God! I’ll give the order!”

This is strange, even in the Bizarro World in which we all now reside.

‘Officials’ have said that the drones aren’t private, aren’t ours, and are definitely not from another nation. Okay. If we were to take the ‘authorities’ at their word, it would leave only three possibilities: 1) We have all been hallucinating and haven’t actually seen what we’ve seen. 2) The drones are alien sent. 3) Government officials are lying to us through their teeth. None of these options are good. One would be extremely concerning on its face. Two would pose a potentially dire threat, especially because, were it true, the aliens haven’t yet tried to contact us or reassure us that they come in peace.

And three, though perhaps the most likely, would be nonetheless tragic.

It is time for transparency. It is time for action. It is time for Trump.

 

 

Numerous Democrats To Skip Trump Inauguration

            It's time to come together as a nation. It's time to "reach across the aisle." Right?

            Maybe not.

            As of this writing, according to Axios, at least 13 Democrats have confirmed they will not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration next month. The reasons given for the boycott vary, but are obviously grounded in disdain for Trump. Many others are undecided as to if they will attend the ceremony. A few of those snubbing the incoming president say they wouldn’t feel safe at the event. For example, Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez says that, as a Latina, she would not “feel safe” attending a gathering with so many Trump supporters.

First off, a large number of ‘Latinas’ voted for Trump, who has shown nothing but appreciation and kindness towards them. Secondly, you wouldn’t feel safe? Really?!! How do you think Trump feels? He’s the one who was shot in the head during just one of the recent attempts on his life!

These craven little disingenuous louts will not be missed—by anyone—at the inauguration…which can’t get here fast enough.

 

Jews Threatened From Here To There, Everywhere

                          Anti-Semitism seems to be en vogue around the world. But that doesn’t make it right. Or sane. In fact, it is beyond repulsive. And can be deadly.

                       During a recent sermon at the Kansas City Islamic Center, imam Muhammad Tarife preached to his congregants: “Oh, Allah, annihilate the criminal Zionists – those of whom are Zionists and those who are not. Oh, Allah, count them, kill them one by one, and do not spare a single one of them, for they are no match for You. Oh, Allah, allow us to torment them with our own hands, humiliate them, grant us victory over them, and heal the hearts of the believers.” He sounds nice.

                       Praying to Allah to annihilate the Zionists…and those who are not sounds kind of hate-speechy to me, but at least he’s inclusive! Anyway, The Quran says that Muslims must convert, slave, or kill nonbelievers, so no big whoop, right? Islam demands the submission of all others under penalty of force, but, hey, who are we to judge? All religions and cultures are equivalent, correct?

                       But it isn’t just the Kansas City imam who’s on a crusade. Far from it. In Germany, Michael Stürzenberger was recently stabbed by a jihadi. Why? Because he has been an outspoken critic of jihadi violence and the oppression of women (and others) by radical Muslims. Sounds like he had it coming to him, no? So, Mr. Stürzenberger was stabbed by a radical Muslim man for decrying the violence of radical Muslim men? Sounds right. Checks out. Sadly.  

                       And that isn’t the worst of it. A German court has convicted Stürzenberger of “incitement to hatred” and fined him €3,600 (about $3,800). So, Stürzenberger gets stabbed by a jihadi for decrying jihadi violence…and then gets fined by his own country’s court for inciting hatred?

                       Well, as the Kinks said, “It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.”

                       The West needs to grow a pair…and then declare: “No more.”

 

 

 

 

 

"Toxic" Masculinity Can Save Women's Lives

 

  As Mark Steyn recently wrote, “December 6th marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of the ‘Montreal Massacre’ - a grim day in 1989 when fourteen female students at the École Polytechnique were murdered by a man known to posterity as ‘Marc Lépine.’” Ever since, Steyn states, Canada flies its flags at half-mast on each successive December 6^th. And blames men for the fourteen women murdered by Lépine……who was born Gamil Gharbi and was the son of a known Algerian Muslim wife-beater, though, as Steyn notes, “you wouldn't know that from the press coverage.”

The most relevant—and tragic—aspect of the tragedy is that every one of the men in the classroom where the slaughter occurred, professors and students alike, obediently left the room when ordered to do so. They simply abandoned their female classmates and fellow humans to their fate, without objection or push back.  That they did so would have boggled the minds of men, even Canadian men, a few short decades ago.

Steyn reported: “These ‘men’ stood outside in the corridor and, even as they heard the first shots, they did nothing. And, when it was over and Gharbi walked out of the room and past them, they still did nothing. Whatever its other defects, Canadian manhood does not suffer from an excess of testosterone.”

Of course, this heinous episode resulted in the Canadian government pushing even more stringent gun control measures, not in questioning immigration, crime, or other policies.

Real men, marinating in their ‘toxic masculinity,’ will stand up for women and say “enough!” as regards ‘trans women’ in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. And real men, of the toxically masculine variety, would not ignore the gang rapes of innocent young girls that are being committed by ‘immigrants.’ The mostly young male cops who do, and, in fact, go after those who wish to put a stop to these heinous crimes, are anything but ‘toxically masculine.’ (Thank God Daniel Penny, who came to the aid of several subway riders, was recently acquitted.)

Be careful what you wish for ladies. The lack of ‘toxic’ masculinity led to this disaster…and the death of so many innocent women. In this case, as in so many others, the lack of masculinity was not only toxic, but deadly. Especially for women.

 

Droning On...And On...And On...

                         Dozens of large drones have been flying over New Jersey—and now New York—for the past several weeks…and the FBI and other government officials purport to be utterly clueless as to whose they are, who is flying them, and what their intent may be.

                       Drones have reportedly been spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military facility, and President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course.

                       A spokeswoman for the FBI’s Newark Field Office, which is leading the investigation, recently told PIX11 News: "We understand the concern, and we are doing all we can to figure out what's going on. We truly don't have much information to provide at the moment."

                       Are you bleeping kidding me? What the hell is the point of having lavishly funded intelligence agencies and a similarly lavishly funded military if we are still left ignorant and defenseless?

                       The drones are apparently being flown primarily at night, and often in formations. Yet, there has been some talk that perhaps these are Amazon delivery drones or some other such benign craft. I'm guessing that, since this drone apocalypse has been in the news for weeks now, if Amazon was behind this aerial display, Jeff Bezos or another company official might have already said, “Yup, these drones are ours. Nothing to worry about. As you were.” Wouldn't the fact that these drones are flying primarily at night cause the FBI or one of our other crack intelligence agencies to think to themselves, “Gee, I wonder why these drones are being flown only at night? It is almost as if whoever is controlling them does not want for them to be seen.”

                       Which leads me to China. The Chinese flew a giant freaking balloon across the entire continent and we didn't do anything about it, despite its glacial pace. They must surely believe that they could get away with flying a few dozen drones over New Jersey and New York—and their attendant military bases, dams, and other infrastructure. As well as Trump’s properties. Granted, this is rampant speculation on my part. But, if they were going to do it, it would certainly be before January 20th. Whether or not these particular drones belong to the CCP, it appears China’s extraordinary investment in high tech military weaponry is entirely unnecessary, at least as regards the United States. Under the Biden administration, the U.S.’s military readiness and capability appears to have regressed to pre-World War I levels, despite the advent of high-tech weaponry. These drones fly at roughly the speed of a World War I aeroplane. A pilot in a Sopwith Camel or a Fokker Triplane could probably shoot one down. I picture a pilot in an open cockpit with goggles, a leather vest, and a scarf trailing behind him pursuing one of these drones, his crude Gatling style machine gun ablazin’. Yet, the U.S. can't figure out what these drones are up to or what to do about them, mimicking how it handled the now infamous spy balloon. It seems like, at this point in time, China could attack the U.S. with wooden schooners, slow boats from China, and it would be unable to quickly identify them…or protect its coasts as they bombarded Los Angeles and New York with cannonballs. Or whatever.

                       Whatever the case, this is just another embarrassment, and reason number 1,497 that the Trump administration can’t get here fast enough. For God’s sake, shoot one of these aerial voyeurs down. If it’s of Chinese origin, say “Aha!” If it’s one of Amazon’s, say: “Our bad, we’ll reimburse you.” Simple. And if it’s Iran or another potential adversary? Shoot the rest of them down.

                       Of course, the truth may be that our government is somehow behind these semi-UFOs. But the implications of that—and the lack of transparency—would be no more reassuring.

 

 

Canadian Christians Dishonored

 

              The New Democratic Party of British Columbia recently refused to designate December as Christian Heritage Month, with the socialist NDP’s Ministry of Multiculturalism leading the denial. The newly re-elected British Columbian government rejected the petition, submitted by the Christian Music Festival of Toronto, via an email stating in part: “Regretfully, your submission overlaps with other significant and nationally recognized statutory holidays celebrating the Christian faith, notably Christmas. Further to this, British Columbia recognizes additional days celebrating the Christian faith throughout the year for the general public, such as Good Friday/Easter.”

              Yet that does not matter in the least when other religion’s holidays and recognition is concerned. British Columbia recognizes various other heritage months, including Tamil Heritage Month (January), Black History Month (February), Sikh Heritage Month (April), Asian Heritage Month (May), Italian Heritage Month (June), National Indigenous History Month (June), Polish Heritage Month (September), German Heritage Month (October), and Hindu Heritage Month (November). But Christian Heritage Month can’t cut the mustard, which is particularly unusual in that, according to the 2021 census, 53.3% of Canadians identified as Christian, whereas only 2.1% identified as Sikhs and 2.3% as Hindu. 4.9% of those surveyed practiced Islam. 34.6% professed no religion at all.

              In the U.S., January is National Oatmeal Month, while March is International Black Women In Jazz & The Arts Month. June is loaded up with overlapping observations, recognitions, and celebrations, as it is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Haitian Heritage Month, and Jewish American Heritage Month. And, of course, most famously of all, it is PRIDE! Month. But Christian Heritage Month is right out, a non-starter, a bridge too far.

              In 2001, 77.1% of Canucks identified as Christian, so, just as in America, the number of Christians there is dwindling fast. Possibly because it is becoming illegal to adhere to the Christian faith. Case in point: government lawyers are seeking a potential one-year jail sentence for a Calgary pastor who was charged with criminal harassment and breach of bail conditions—and fined $500-- for grousing about drag queen story hours targeting children at public libraries. Egad! What kind of a monster would be insufficiently supportive of grown men flouncing around in women’s underwear in front of young children?

The “New Democratic Party” of British Columbia/Canada? Well, we’ve got a new Democratic Party in the United States, as well—and it is just as out of touch and anti-Christian as the one to our north. (See also, Kamala Harris, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashid Tlaib, Tampon Timmy Walz, Gavin “Brylcreem” Newsome, et. al.)

If the recent election is any guide, it seems a majority of Americans have become sick of the “new” Democratic Party with its desire to divide us and mock our history and traditions. So, they threw the bums out.

Here’s hoping Canadians, always polite, can soon find the backbone to do the same.

 

 

President Biden Statement-- December 19, 2024

 

December 19, 2024

New York Times

 

President Biden today pardoned “every Democrat in the world for everything that they’ve ever done…or ever will do, so help me…you know, the thing.” Biden was originally planning on only pardoning student loan deadbeats, deadbeat dads, criminals (felonious or otherwise), illegal aliens, antisemites, anyone involved in election fraud, anti-Christian extremists, etc., etc., but then decided it would be quicker and easier to just do the blanket pardon of all Democrats-- and their supporters-- back to the beginning of time…and forward to the end of time.

And so it shall be.

This was the prudent and correct thing to do, especially in light of Republicans disagreeing with the move. Who among us would not have done precisely the same thing? Only a heartless bigot, racist, misogynistic, intolerant ass, that’s who.
